Balancing open-air tranquillity and city vibrancy, this tremendous terrace provides a calm and charismatic lifestyle sanctuary among the most revered of inner-Melbourne enclaves.
Placed by the acres of pristine parkland encompassing the MCG, Berry Street enjoys a wealth of extraordinary residences seldom offered to the public, with the home itself, a c1880s Victorian, radiating ageless charm both inside and out. Towering ceilings headline a range of original intricacies, with a grand and graceful entrance hall evoking an unforgettable first impression. Entwined formal lounge and dining areas feature extensive book shelving and marble-encased fireplaces, with relaxing garden vistas enriching quiet and social afternoons. A broad rear living/meals space soaks in all-day natural light, neighbouring a storage-rich kitchen with 900mm ILVE cooker and Miele dishwasher.
Serviced by a pair of smart bathrooms and plentiful fitted storage, three generous bedrooms occupy a bright and peaceful upper storey, with an expansive main bedroom accessing an archetypal front balcony with elevated views across East Melbourne’s signature foliage. Accompanied by a considerable wine cellar, combined powder room/laundry, and versatile office/fourth bedroom, a spacious rear sitting area with kitchenette enhances a serene lower level, stepping into a substantial backyard with an open-air lounge setting, swathes of manicured greenery, and secure parking for two (rear access via extra-wide Webb Lane). Promising instant comfort alongside scope to reimagine in time, other highlights include ducted heating, split-system cooling, an alarm, and middle-level powder room (fourth WC).
A lovingly maintained prize embodying everything that makes East Melbourne so adored, Wellington Parade shops and eateries, ever-vibrant Bridge Road, numerous trains and trams, the picturesque Yarra, and Melbourne’s marquee sporting/music events sit mere steps away, with nearby Fitzroy and Treasury Gardens revealing the CBD’s effervescent East End.
